I've no qualms saying what a **** Trump is. When your candidate goes into "Mexicans are rapists" and "Punch him in the face; I'll pay for your legal fees" and "grab her by the pussy" territory, I do absolutely think anyone supports him's a bad person. You just are, especially if you didn't agree...
For real, probably Obama. He was a mediocre leftist at most, but he managed to get some semblance of healthcare passed despite constant republican bickering and filibustering. And being black man with a non-Anglophone name, although a sign of progress, really exposed many Americans' nasty side...
I fucking swear like a fucking mad ****, me, and bollocks to whoever's around.
I won't swear around people if it'll make my life so much easier not to, or if someone I care about asks me not to, but otherwise, I don't give a shit.
Does she intentionally try to piss you off so that you swear at...
Personally, as much as I like how it undermines some cliches and doesn't really on daft, dated stereotpyes, I just find it extremely boring and underwhelming. I can remember very few specific moments because I just felt constantly like I was waiting for something to happen. I seem to be in the...
I can't see having a man who thinks black people are inherently stupider than white people and East Asians and referred to Obama as "half-Kenyan" and having an "ancestral hatred of Britain" and that women go to univesrity to find men to marry as our foreign secretary going well at all.
What...
I suppose, but I'm still finding it really hard to sympathise with all these people who voted leave who are now getting fucked over.
Anyway, Corbyn's alright, and I'd prefer him to most of his contenders in the Labour party, but I really wish a lot of his supporters would fucking calm down...
Towns that voted overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the EU are among the first victims of post-Brexit manufacturing job losses.
Last week Forterra, one of Britains biggest brick makers, said it would mothball plants in Accrington and Claughton, both in Lancashire, ahead of a potential downturn...
Oh fucking hell, that old song; they used to play that at school discos/birthday parties all the time when I was a kid.

Re: EU referendum
He's been more than willing to take advantage of the expenses afforded to him as an MEP despite having one of the worst attendance records of the lot.
Re: EU referendum
The main thing I'm surprised about's that big university cities like Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, and Newcastle were so bloody divided on it. I guess that shows just how divisive this issue is.
Re: EU referendum
I've logged in for the first time in literally years to say this:
Fuck this country, and fuck my area (Rotherham) in particular, which was the 20th most pro leave area in the whole UK (alongside Walsall).
I can't believe we're so fucking stupid to vote for our own economic...
Not really; he spent the past few years hiding from the Americans in Pakistan. He doesn't sound like a threat to me.
Anyway, I'm glad he got what was coming to him, but I think people must remember that it's not going to advance any diplomatic or military goals we have in the region.
I guess that sentence of mine was poorly worded. I was alluding to any magical powers or divine influences that were supposedly involved in the activities of Jesus or Mohammed and the like.
Not necessarilly; most Buddhists are technically Atheists because most forms of Buddhism have no deities. There are a few that think Budha himself was a god, but that's it. Atheism is only imcompatible with "There definitely is a god, period." It's got nothing to do with a belief in...
Zeitgeist has been debunked as nothing more than a piece of conspiracy theorist drivel.
The Troubles were largely fuelled by centuries old religious conflict (mostly from the Anti-Irish perseuction by the English). However, the main reasons for sectarian conflict were actually quite secular...
Aside from Mandarin.
Anyway, English, obviously, and I have only a little bit of experience with German and French. I also know a few basic words in many languages; overall, I fail at languages. :(
Assertive disbelief = Consious rejection of deities.
Lack of assertive belief = Anything other than believing in any specific deity.
There is a difference.
No, Atheist means that you lack an assertive belief in any kind of Theistic god or central deity. It's not an assertive lack of belief. So, in this sense, most Buddhists or also Atheists. An Agnostic is one who is open to the possibility of there being a god. Therefore, I am both.
We already...
To be honest, there are right and wrong times to make fun of immense tragedies. I don't see why it should always be so controversial to do so. The way Scorpion999 did was beyond poor taste, mostly because he did it immediately after it happened. But to say it's always bad to make jokes about...
It's really terrible that such a thing happened. But I seriously don't understand what everyone is talking about with this 'advisors' thing. Can someone explain?
Well, it's obviously not justifiable, but when the west is constantly turning your house into rubble, making off with your country's...
You put that better than I ever could. Although most of the evidence that he exists consists of hearsay and second and third hand accounts and verses or parts of the Gospels which have been frequently mistranslated or edited/edited out.
I don't really see the comparison here. People who know of...
The Jews are an ethno-religious group. So, just like Arabs, there's an ethnic basis for identidying someone as 'Jewish'. In fact, Arabs and Jews are quite close in this regard, but Jesus wasn't an Arab.
They ended too early to fully materialize into flamewars.
Snow... We've been getting way too much of it here for the past week and a half. Here in England, we're not very prepared for this much snow, so this country pretty much grounds to a halt with this much snow.
To be honest, I really don't know of any foreign ancestry that I have. I'm pretty sure practically everyone in my family since the end of the 19th century was born and rasied here in England. However, most English people are of Germanic origin mixed with Celtic and some Latin/French, so it's...
^ You made that up. English is the official language in Illinois. It's spoken by by 80% of the population. Even if it is a law, it's obviously never enforced.
